Supply Chain
It is important for the different parts of the cereals supply chain to work together. Research has shown that cross-chain collaboration can improve efficiency, drive down costs, increase profitability and produce long-term stability. HGCA's Supply Chain Partnership has been founded to encourage cross-industry dialogue and highlight examples of best practice.

What is SCP?
The HGCA Supply Chain Partnership is a unique initiative designed to help improve efficiency across the cereals supply chain. It came about as a result of the Cereals Industry Forum (CIF) which was run by HGCA from 2005-2007. CIF consisted of a number of activities looking at the strengths and weaknesses of supply chains, and individual companies in the industry. The SCP communicates the key findings of CIF to the entire chain by highlighting examples of best practice.
